I was working on a site for a customer yesterday and I couldn’t get the WordPress uploader to work. I did some googling and decided to open firebug and check the errors console. When I tried using the uploader, an error popped up showing a div with some html markup and it looked like a bunch of advertisements for drugs and other stuff. So I replaced the whole admin folder thinking that would fix it but it didn’t. So I dumped the database and reinstalled WordPress and that didn’t even fix it. Have you heard of such an issue? is it possible there is an infection in the web server that is causing this? I was shocked to find out that dumping the database didn’t work. I even tried other themes and got the same issue so I know it isn’t the theme my customer was using. Any ideas?

I have a client and I am in need of a designer for this job. I have a 5 page layout plan from him for a very simple design including his logo. Upon accepting the job, I will send over the logo material he supplied me. Feel free to play with it and redesign. I will send over a pdf that he made with a 5 page sketch of his design and some rough content for the site. You can use filler text for the site. The text is kinda unreadable and the pdf didn’t come out to well.

my client is open to you designing your own layout based on his needs and submitting it along with the design based of his rough sketch. He will then pick out which one he likes and go that route.

the about page and contact page would follow similar layout with the contact page having a form to name, email comment to send in with a google map and the about page just some nice information about the company with a sidebar with a submit app button, a pic or two.

his description of what he wants. A clean, uncluttered tight website. Corporate in appearance. He does have an idea of colors and I will show you those later. This site should be designed with WordPress in mind. At this time, I really don’t need a blog designed. I guess you should design it as a static website that will be coded into WordPress to be used as a content management system. He isn’t looking to blog. I will add that functionality later. Based on the website above and the three images, come up with a cost. He will want the tables that you see in the website above for posting jobs. We can discuss more over a skype conversation so that you can get more of the details.

Please submit your portfolio for review. My budget for this design is 500.00.
Please include details. How many revisions will you give? are you willing to design up your own layout for submission in case you can come up with something better? will you give up rights to the design to my client and not reproduce or re-use? Anything that could be helpful in helping me choose.
Please only respond to the post if you are interested in the job.

I think an expert forum with live chat would be fantastic. But I also think that general easy to solve issues should remain free. A pay by the minute thing would be good but you would have to put some kind of limit on it in order for customers to want to pay for it. If you deal in volume then the prices can be set low. Don’t think of it as a job, think of it as an expert sitting around bored and then logs into the site. If a customer happens by and needs a little assistance, maybe he can buy 5 minutes of my time for 5 bucks. But just chatting and asking question can be free. A voice program would be great for that. Like Team Speak if you have ever used that program. A bunch of people logged into a room and talking about their items or issues.

This works but it also gets the page that is assigned a page template which will then return the wrong content. So I need to get it to ignore any page template. Do you have any idea how I can get that accomplished? I have one method but it’s the long way and very efficient.
